It could depress them in the sense that the people posting things like this don't have meaningful real life experiences to "change their life," and instead HAVE to rely on fandom stuff.
As in, they feel bad for them.

Or that's what I gathered.

that seems like a very smug elitist attitude. so WHAT if they don't have a lot of life experience? a lot of people touched so deeply by fandom are very young or confined to home for a variety of reason (disability, illness, mental/emotional issues)... they don't have the freedom of running around having "normal" life experiences that change them and encourage growth. if a fandom is what does that for them, great. it means they're changing and growing, who the fuck cares what did it for them? it's a good thing. it's a happy thing. and looking down on WHY some one grows and changes because it's "not normal" or "not good enough" is BS, IMO.

well that's stupid. Fandom has led me to travel to different countries, meet new people, do things I never would have otherwise... fandom has changed my life for the better AND given me meaningful experiences. So fuck off.

Hasn't taught you many manners though.

But fandom IS a real life experience. You sound like one of those morons who insists the only people you meet online are serial killers and pedophiles. Meanwhile, I and many of my friends have met our SOs of MANY years online.

I agree. At least that's what I feel. My friend is very invested in fandom, and she made some real life friends from it, but she spends all her time around books and tv. It's fun being in fandom with her. However I think everything in moderation - isn't it better to have a full life and participate in fandom as a nice hobby?
My other friend who become unemployed is suddenly very interested in football and spends a lot of time on footy forum - which is like being in fandom. Football is there to fill the void.
I guess, what I'm trying to say is that I wish someday I'll be interested in my own life as much as in some character's life.

Fandom is a wonderful place to find likewise minded people, though.
